ABOUT THE ART
In Andhra Pradesh, the puppets, called tholu bommalata (“the dance of leather dolls”), are fashioned of translucent, coloured leather. These are projected on a small screen, like colour photographic transparencies. Animals, birds, gods, and demons dominate the screen. The puppeteer manipulates them from behind with two sticks. Strong lamps are arranged so that the size, position, and angle of the puppets change with the distance of the light. The puppeteers comprise of various entertainers who perform all night and usually reenact various stories from Hindu epics such as the Ramayana and Mahabharata.
WHAT WE LEARN
We create the Tulabharam episode in a size of 27" x 36"
This is the beautiful story of Shri Krishna and his two wives Satyabhama and Rukmini, which underlines the importance of devotion. Sage Narada as usual, has played a role into this as well.
Satyabhama belonged to a royal lineage and was very proud of her origins. Rukmini was very humble, though she was the incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi. Her devotion was pure to Shri Krishna.
This story is about humbling of Satyabhama's pride.
